Ova kartica ima Marvell čipset i može biti komplikovano da se potera na Linuxu:
The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project wanted integrate wireless mesh capability into their devices. Their desire was to be able to off-load the mesh functionality to the chipset, to save battery power, however nearly all modern 802.11 design are softmac, a simple hardware with all the 802.11 intelligence in the driver. One of the few candidate was the Marvell Libertas, however there was no Linux driver and Marvell was restrictive about sharing information. The OLPC project convinced Marvell to allow them to write a Linux driver and release it.
The driver was written for OLPC by Red-Hat, lead by Dan (who also wrote NetworkManager). The driver does not use any 802.11 stack, because such functionality is implemented in the firmware, and it offers all modern functionality such as Scanning and WPA support. The Linux driver also supports the proprietary mesh functionality when using the appropriate firmware. The driver has been developped and tested in the OLPC source tree for a long time, and after various changes required for kernel inclusion, it was eventually included in kernel 2.6.22.
